we're counting down the days 'til daddy comes home, starting TODAY.
We love you Dallas! Come home safe and sound and SOON!
This post is so beautiful and heart wrenching. Thank you for sharing such precious moments. Please know that we love you and that your entire family is in our prayers! Words cannot express how proud we are to know you both! May God bless and protect you until you are safely in each others arms again.
ReplyDeleteMan I choked up a little looking at your pictures! I hope he comes home safe and sound as well!
ReplyDeleteEmotions came flooding back from almost 6 years ago when I watched my husband (and your future husband) leave for the first time. My heart aches for you and your family, but I also know how proud I felt being the wife of a soldier. What a great honor! We pray for the safe return of them all. God Bless America.
ReplyDeleteCarissa, I bawled through this whole post. You are such a strong girl. I am so proud to call Dallas my brother in-law. I am so sorry I couldn't be there. If I was in Idaho I would have been there. I love you so much. I am lucky to have you as a sister! See you soon!!! LOVE YOU xoxoxo
